All our SoMs have an FPGA/SoC as the central element which is accompanied with external memories (e.g. SRAM, FRAM, LPDDR4, Flash) and communication interfaces (e.g. I2C, UART, CAN, SpaceWire) as required. Common features of all our SoMs are

​

  • radiation tolerance

  • capability for in-orbit re-configuration

  • energy-saving modes.

 

Our Smart Processing Module (SPM) is designed for insensitivtiy to radiation loads (20 krad), low power consumption and serial and parallel data processing. It supports high data rates and high data throughput applications, such as camera data processing in Earth Observation missions. The processing is performed in real time allowing the implementation of algorithms for image processing.

​

Key features are:

 

  • instant-on behavior: The SPM comes online within milliseconds after being powered

  • architecture re-configuration: Several SoC configurations can be stored in the memory

  • Interfaces and routing: Standard interfaces from SPI to SpaceWire and router features. 

​

Additionally, the SPM comes with a Smart Power Supply (SPS) that provides two special features:

​

  • two redundant channels for each output that share the electric load

  • protection of SPM and any connected payload against latchups

​

The two boards can be combined to the Smart Power and Processing Module (SPPM). Check our Fact Sheet!

SPACE SOLUTIONS FOR ALL MISSION TYPES

EMM PRODUCT CATEGORIES

EMM focuses on developing products for New Space applications. Leveraging our extensive experience in space engineering, we design these modules to achieve high reliability, even though they are primarily based on cost-efficient commercial components. The modular design of EMM enables the interchange of commercial parts with space-qualified counterparts to provide our customers the best solution suitable for their application. With this, we can facilitate seamless product exchange across the categories:

S1 / CLASSICAL SPACE

Products with highest reliability design for long mission life time and high orbit

R2 / NEW SPACE

Products combine the advantages of S1 and I3: Cost-effectiveness and high reliability

I3 / COMMERCIAL INDUSTRY

Products based on commercial electronics, ideally suited for lab setups and rapid prototype development
